I do feel good, minimal pain, etc, healing nicely. Today I will go to boot camp class at gym for first time, but feel ready. Thank you everyone for the amazing support!

Thank you! Both times the nurses had me use Traumeel ointment for the bruising, available at the drugstore. I also think the bruising was less this time.

Are you happy with the results thus far?

Yes, it is a little painful to sit, but not bad. The most I feel it is when I try to sleep on my side at night (I don't seem to sleep any other way), and it seems like I am laying right on the bruises. Yikes, as far as happy with the results - I don't know yet. Sometimes I am optimistic, but at other times I see my flaws, and that bums me out, lol. I seem to be very hard on myself, and critical.

We can be our own worst critic. It looks great so far from the pictures.

And maybe I missed this, but would you mind sharing the cost of the procedure?

5 days in....so far so good...it takes time but I am already seeing almost no dents in my hiney Lol..still bruising and swelling..going back in 2 weeks for checkup gonna ask for my before pics.... don't forget the compression garments....that's important... Gotta kinda hold the fat in as its regenerating... Best way I can describe it...still hurts when I sit on toilet but nothing major... But yeah..even when u clench my cheeks... I can't see hardly any cellulite... Crossing fingers

AFTER 2ND PROCEDURE

K
KST8357March 23, 2016
These pics are 24 hours after second Cellfina. This time there was very little pain, so much better. I also feel way better recovery too so far, more like sore after a good boot camp workout. Today I am cautiously hopeful for good results. As for the final results, who knows.

Fingers crossed for a better outcome! You don't look bruised like the first time, so hopefully minimal pain.

Thanks for the info, that's encouraging!!! I'm super white so that's why I was concerned about the marks. I'm 5'2" 114 lbs, I prefer to be around 110. Should I wait to be more toned before getting this?

CELLFINA AFTER 9 MONTHS

K
KST8357March 7, 2016
I am posting updated pictures after 9 months of Cellfina results so anyone researching this can see it is possible to have bad results, and actually be worse after, not better. My Dr. is going to repeat the procedure (he has never had a repeat cellfina necessary, I am the first) at no cost because of the poor results on March 22, 2016.

Thank you for being so brave. Wonderful to hear he is doing revision at no cost! I am looking into it. I am not sure my ps does this procedure but I will trust his opinion on whether or not I am a candidate. Good luck keeping you in my prayers!

I had the procedure last June and my cellulite is also worse. I'm not sure why we seem to be the only people it hasn't worked for. And I agree with you that it was extremely painful and did not feel minimally invasive. Good luck to you on your revision!

Thank you. The Dr. has been frank with me regarding it may also not work a second time, and yes there are some people it just doesn't help. Keep that in mind.

I'm sorry but I am just not comfortable saying until the final results are done. I will say I like and respect my DR.'s skills. I would prefer to give him a positive review at the end if possible.

Thank you! I do realize it is an elective procedure, and the results cannot be guaranteed.
